Background​

All SPARC datasets must have the following metadata on Pennsieve: subtitle, description, banner image, license, and tags. This interface allows you to easily add a banner image to your Pennsieve dataset. This image will be associated with the dataset and used as a thumbnail once the dataset is published on the SPARC data portal.

caution

Only .PNG, .JPEG, and .TIFF images are allowed to be used as a banner.
